General dentistry services are available at Inspire Dental in Rickmansworth?

General dental check-up
You should have a dental check-up at least once a year. We prefer to see our patients every 6 months so that we can keep an eye on your oral health and deal with any issues immediately. A dental check-up will monitor your teeth for plaque, cavities and gum disease.

Oral hygiene
You should visit your hygienist once a year. The hygienists at Inspire Dental focus on keeping your mouth, teeth and gums clean to prevent a build-up of tartar which can cause cavities and gum disease. Our hygienists also deal with halitosis (bad breath), help with brushing and flossing and offer diet and lifestyle advice.
Fillings
Cavities are small holes which can appear in your teeth due to poor oral hygiene, trauma or from consuming too much sugar in your diet. If you get a cavity in your tooth, you will need to get a filling to prevent it becoming painful or developing an infection. We offer white composite fillings as well as the traditional silver amalgam fillings.

Dental crowns
If a cavity in your tooth is too large for a filling or if you have root canal therapy which treats the inside of the tooth, you will need a dental crown to secure it. A dental crown is a cap for your tooth that sits over the entire top of your tooth to support it and provide protection.

Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment is used when you have an infection inside a tooth. You may experience pain, red or swollen gums or increased sensitivity. Over a series of appointments, your dentist will remove the pulp from within your tooth and flush out the root canals to eradicate the infection.
Dentures
Dentures remain the most cost-effective way to replace missing teeth. Dentures are made up of an acrylic removable plate containing a full, partial or one single false tooth.
